Jóhann Jóhannsson - Mandy OST (2018)


Can't emphasize enough how stunning this future cult classic film is. The way the visuals, story, emotions, the soundtrack (!!) blend is out of this world. The fucking soundtrack enriches the whole experience so much. It's such a pity Jóhann Jóhannsson OD'd on a combination of cocaine and medication even before the film was even released (R.I.P.). This soundtrack also features contributions from Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))) and Hildur Guðnadóttir, whose impressively growing portfolio most recently included Chernobyl's OST and the latest Sunn O))) album, Life Metal. If you haven't seen the film yet, I highly recommend watching it. Soon. And if you inject marijuanas, treat yourself with one while at it.

Rökkurró ‎– Í Annan Heim (2010)


Rökkurró's melancholic serenades are evocative of the cold and desolate landscapes of their distant homeland, Iceland. Mesmerising tones and swooping strings projected against a bleak and solitary Nordic backdrop. And yet, unique warmth prevades Rökkurró's music owed to the fragile and soothing voice of Hildur Kristin Stefansdottir. Í Annan Heim is a collection of nine graceful compositions that showcase a darker, more expansive and mature sound, full of leticulously crafted melodies, complex arrangements and smooth sonic textures. Produced by Alex Somers, partner and music collaborator of Jónsi Birgisson (Sigur Rós).
